Kyle ,
I am away from my manual at the moment , but the safety shutoff system on the Kohler generator requires oil pressure and water temp in range as Jack pointed out . Another thing is the generator has to be producing current . I had a problem with the brushes on mine that caused a no output condition , the engine would run as long as starter was engaged, then shut off . We ran a wire as you described , then noticed the cooling blower wasn't working ( no AC output from gen) .
If memory serves one of the brushes had actually broken .
